How To: Make a DIY Egg Yolk Separator

Y'know, sometimes it's nice to have a reminder not to take things too seriously. Today that reminder comes in the form of an absurdist DIY project involving plywood, a plunger, and, well, some eggs.

Studio Egg, the Instructables member behind this DIY egg yolk separator aka Project Yolk, set out to create a "para-functional kitchen appliance as a commentary on the relationship between makers and designers. It's proportions and exposed construction highlight an absurdity within functionalism. It is an exploration of mechanizing simple delicate tasks."
